Wedding Season - #DREWeekend Part 1

I know it's been awhile since i've written a blog post, but i've been saving up for some really good posts. I'm sure everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather that we now have after the horribly cold winter we had. At least i know i am, especially with all of the great designer sales going on! Anyways, i recently attended two weddings on back to back weekends (who didn't go to a wedding this June, yet?). I was a bridesmaid in one and my husband was a groomsmen in the other. I'm starting with the rehearsal dinner from the first.

My friend Drew, who has been a lifelong friend of mine, more like family, married her long-time boyfriend, Josh, on June 8th. The rehearsal dinner was held in Spring Lake on a beautiful Saturday night. Because it was Saturday, i decided to wear something a little more formal, but still cocktail attire for the occasion. I was so thrilled all weekend to be apart of something so beautiful. These two really love each other. As i'm sure you know, or will know, i've been wearing Torn by Ronny Kobo almost every time i have an event to go to. The clothes fit me so well and the colors are just perfect. What i really love is the fabrics that are used as well. They are light and fall just right on my body and they are really high quality. Definitely my favorite designer of the year. You go, Ronny!

The dinner was beautiful. We mingled all night and heard from Drew's two best friends, Olivia (from college) and Alyse (from high school). Drew was radiant in her white dress, all ready for the big day!

Fiesta Feet

Shoes full of color and patterns are in full bloom this season. I tried to pick out only 9 of my favorites but i could look at the beautiful florals and popping colors all day. Here are some of my favorites:

1 Manolo Blahnik // 2 Giuseppe Zanotti // 3 Toms // 4 Moncler // 

5 Gucci // 6 Loeffler Randall // 7 Tory Burch // 8 Miu Miu // 9 Givenchy

These Givenchy sneakers are to die for… that floral pattern is so perfect. Givenchy was also the first to bring back designer Birkenstocks! 

 I love these Gucci wedges. For me, wedges are ideal. Especially ones with a big platform like this, it will give shorties like me some major height but won't kill my feet! 

I absolutely adore the pattern on these Miu Miu pumps. They would be perfect with a little black dress, really give the outfit some life. 

 Until next time -

Drew's Bridal Shower

A few weeks ago, one of my beautiful best friends had her bridal shower. It was SO nice to see her so happy and looking fabulous, as always. We had been in Miami the weekend before it so it was a nice toned down party for us who were still recovering. There were so many cute dresses at the party but i decided to stick to what i have been doing and featuring Drew, the bride, and myself. Here are some pictures from the day:

How pretty does she look!?

NYC Sun

This past weekend i was staying in New York City for a couple days and i managed to have lunch with one of my very closest friends, Carly. She looked so cute when i saw her and i knew it was the perfect day to put take some pictures and feature her look on my blog. Of course, she went right into model mode and i got some great pictures. We also stopped at Sugar & Plumm on the Upper West Side; it was amazing and i highly recommend it for tea and dessert! Check this diva out:

Easter Sunday

Easter was great this year. My husband and I had his parents and grandparents over for appetizers and then we went out for an early dinner to a restaurant on the beach. It was a beautiful day, a tad cold, but definitely nice. Whenever we spend time with family - it's a good day. We had Passover with my family earlier in the week and both days were just perfect. When Easter comes every year, i always feel like i HAVE to wear something with pretty colors. I found this floral skirt at Forever21 and it was ideal for the day. Flowy and comfortable which gave me some breathing room for all our food. Here are some pictures from the day!

 1 Forever21 Skirt // 2 Wolford Bodysuit // 3 Forever21 Blazer // 4 Christain Louboutin Pumps // 5 Bag (from Italy, similar here) // 6 Claude Bernard Watch // 7 William-Sonoma Cheese Plate // 8 Herand China // 9 Essie Nail Polish
